Questions for doctors

So I am going for my biopsy next Wednesday they are doing era, looking at infection and bacterias. I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow to discuss. I really want them to do every single test possible when they are in there!! Any blood tests pretty much leave no stone unturned. Anyone any ideas of what other checks I can ask them to do whilst they are rummaging around.

Any advice greatly appreciated

Hi Boo, have you had a hysteroscopy in the past? May be worth having one of them whilst they are doing your biopsy (if you haven't had one before) x

Hi Boo

I'm not sure what investigations you've had up to this point but I few things I would ask about:

-3D saline ultrasound scan to check for any uterine abnormalities (this would show a lot of the same things that a hysteroscopy would but less invasive. Downside to the ultrasound is that they can't do any minor surgeries in the moment if they find anything abnormal.)

-Blood tests for you - vitamin D, full thyroid panel (inc. thyroglobulin antibodies and thyroid peroxidase antibodies), HbA1C level and a full iron panel.

Since you're taking blood thinners I assume you've already had a clotting profile and thrombophilia screen done?

Just saw you’re currently on prednisone. Not sure but that may affect that thyroid antibody results xx

Hi not sure if you have already done these tests but I’m booked in for biopsy on 26th but they are doing three tests at the same time they will do the ERA test Alice and Emma test if you haven’t already had the Alice and Emma test may be worth asking if they can do at the same time as the ERA test as cost for the 3 tests wasn’t that much more expensive for me think it’s Called EndomeTRIO hope this helps X
